Before I start, for future reference any post directed to my kids will start with FMK. Any post directed at a general "you" will start with FAE. Now, that sounds a bit snarky I know. And I am not saying that if "you" happen to come along you should skip the FMK posts. I merely want there to be separation so that when my kids read this blog one day, they can skip the silly shit and get to the things meant for them. But, I digress.
Well, the first thing you should know about your mother and me is that we are both full fledged, unabashed geeks. We wear our geek pride like a shinning beacon of awesome. I would argue that I am more geeky than your mother but, she is pretty close.
At the time of this writing I am currently 28. I will be 28 when you are born. And I will be 49 when I can take you to a bar legally. I don't know why that was something I wanted to know but there it is. I am a teacher, reading, middle school. I cannot wait to read to you. I hope that you enjoy reading as you get older. I want you to read before all the other kids in your school. That is my goal. For my twins to be reading before anyone else. Again, not sure why, just because.
I read a lot. Comics, Magazines, Books, everything really. Your mother and I have already bought a few books to read to you. It is not much now, but your library will get larger. I suppose that will give you something to fight about, which one gets which book. At least, I want you to care about the books we get you. It is something my parents did for me and I loved it. Especially Mercer Mayer, Golden Books, and books about trains. To my young mind they were amazing. They laid the foundation for my love of reading today.
I also love trains. Like, love them. Don't know why, just do.
Your dad is also a big movie geek. It is how your mother and I met. But that is for another time. Suffice it to say, movies will always be a part of our lives. We have already started planning what movies we want to show to you and when. And, I will admit this, since there are two of you I want to show one episode 1,2,3,4,5,6 and the other episode 4,5,6,1,2,3, just to see what happens. I cannot believe that I am looking forward to family movie night. I promise that we will not show you any shitty movies on purpose. I cannot promise it will not happen by accident however.
Going along with movies is television. Again, your mother and I are big fans of serialized television. Our favorite, is Doctor Who. I cannot wait to experience that show with you. It is bad-assery that cannot be beat. David Tennant will always be my Doctor. I wonder who will be yours. There are many others that I won't list now but remember, Friends is utter shit no matter what mom or uncle Brian say and the funniest show to ever be on tv is The Honeymooners.
I will end today's post with the following. The New York Yankees are the greatest team to ever exist. EVER! And I really hope we can pass our love of the Yanks to both of you. And I really, REALLY hope neither of you turn out like your uncle Nick and like the Mets just to be pains in the ass. Although, he is back on the Yanks side now that he has seen the error of his ways so it's all coming up Milhouse I suppose.
